has been used. Some of the stones are
showing d~isintegration. Judging from the
extreme settling of the west wall / should
think the footing stones were not large
enough to sustain the superintendent
weight, taking into account the character
OF the soil, understanding as did that 1t
is of a soft loamy nature.
The brick walls as far as I was
able to examine / find to be improperly
constructed. The brick appears to be Of .
variable character, the mortar though
apparently good, there was not enough OF
il used to properly fill or slush up the
Joints. The heart of the walls being full
of interstices.
The roof OF the building, l find fairly
substantial, the timbers being heavy
enough, but the work on the framing
might have been done in a more thorough
manner. -,
The entire west wall, together with Q
section of the west and north walls, could
he taken down to the bottom ofthe present
foundation and rebuilt, but do not
recommend it, as the settling would not
he uniform, and would in all probability
show some cracks at the junction OF the
old and new work. In doing this it would
he considerable risk in sustaining the
standing walls while the work was in pro-
press, to say nothing of the expense. Even
if this was done it would not remedy the
defects of the other parts OF the building,
The floor ioists would still be too light
and also the partition walls.
After very careful deliberation my opin-
ion is. that the building is unsafe ana
should be taken down. This would be the
most prudent course to pursue.
DR.. Jensen offered q resolution that the
teachers of all schools be instructed to take
in consideration the propriety OF intro
ducing the fire drill in the schools, which
was adopted. =
Mr.. Acker moved that the jsnitress OF
the First ward school be allowed to remain
in the building al her W risk II she
desired. which was substituted by a mo-
ton by DIR. Jepson that the Committee on
Buildings and Grounds be instructed 10
provide suitable quarters for the Janitress
after quarters had been found for the
school, which was adopted.
Mr.. Isett offered a resolution to the
effect that the SOmiulttcc u puiiuins'"n
Grounds be authorized to advertise Tor
bids for plans and specifications for a new
tyo-story school house on the PRESENT lot,
which raised some discussion and was
finally adopted. 80.

Col. Miller here rose to inquire why the
Committee on Library had dropped Puck
from the list, whereupOn MIR. White
stated that he had objected to it, rs he
thought it too funny to be in the library,
and did not furnish enough solid informa-
ton. Col. Miller t hought the reason IN
sufficient, when President Pipes, a mem
Der of the committee, said that they did
not take the other sides paper, and they
thought Puck could also be dispensed with
to make the thing even. After som FUR
ther talk the Board adjourned.

What the Liberals Say.

New YORK, February IA CORE
spondent Of the New York Herald at To-
rOnto, says
"The Liberal leaders are mad to-day
very mad. They denounce that willy old
politician, Sir John Mcdonald, in terms
more forcible than polite.
MANY, however, affect to believe that
the venerable leader ofthe Canadian Tories
is in his dotage or he would never have
permitted such an absurd story as that
about the. alleged American corruption
fund to be seriously put forth.
"As reported in the Herald this morning
three Tory papers in different parts of the
province appeared yesterday with a care
fully prepared charge that the Pittsburg
iron masters had subscribed $3.50, 900 to the
Liberal or Crit" campaign fund.
I'm return, the story ran, the Liberal
leaders promised that the defeat Of Sir
John would be followed by the repeal OF
all protective duties-the abandonment OF
the so-called national policy-which would
open Canadian markets to American
goods.
The Liberals are careful to point ont
that the story is absurd on its face. The
Pittshurg iron masters, with duties of40
to 100 pei cent. in their favor, cannot
keep the market in the United States free
from British competition. How then,
they argue, could Pittsburg manufac-
turers expect to compete with English
goods in a free Canadian market if the du-
ties are abrogated? And fancy the Pitts.
burg iron master paying roundly for the
sake of opening the Canadian market to
English goodsl OF course a discriminating
tariff shutting out English and letting in
American goods is not to he thought of.
No Canadian politician would think of in
PRODUCING such a measure.
1.-THE opposition claim that the story is
a weak invention of the enemy to preju-
dice Hon. Edward Blake in the elections
next week.
Those who made the charge refuse to
state what proofs they have that this
money was received, and do not eyen at
tempt to Justify it. To-day the leaders Of
the Government party are out of tOgn on
the canvass, so | cannot sac them TO night

Charming Minnie Maddern.

Seats now on sale for the engagement OF
Miss Minnie Madden at the Opera House
Saturday afternoon and evening, and are
going off rapidly. Miss Maddern's Com
pany has been quoted everywhere as the
best balanced and finest appearing organi-
cation of the season. Miss Madden has
no well defined position in histronic art.
She is neither soubrette, coincidence, nor
protean artist purely. but is a happy blend
ing of all three and very clever. She Is
polite, graceful, quick in word and action,
and exceedingly attractive in dialogue and
stage busienss. She appears here this year
in Caprice" The play is the story OF
an ignorant country girl, with whom a
a rich young man falls in love, and marrles
despite the warnings and protests of his
relatives and friends, who afterwards cast
him of. HIS dream of love in a cottage Is
brightly fulfilled at first, but the
constant solecisms of his rough
diamond pail upon him at
last, and he grows petulant and regret
Jul. His girl wife overhears him tell n
friend that he is weary of such n life. The
child's anguish may be imagined. She
leaves home, goes to school, remains eight
years, emerges a polished woman, and in
the usual way is reunited to her husband.
As the country girl, as the child-wiie
striving hard to learn, and as the cultlvat-
ed lady, Miss Madden takes her audience
by storm.

STERLING, Ill, February 1T.-Word
has Just been received from mp the river
that on Friday afternoon last two Young
men, Hugh Ramsey and Herman Fluck,
started out in a skif to the residence OF
Mr., Dulman, which Is situated in the sub
merged district known as the Como
Bottom" for the purpose Of rescuing a
family. The heavy current upset the
skif, but they managed TO get hold Of a
clump of willows. In this condition they
remained until Saturday morning, when
they were rescued. They were in water
for sixteen hours, with the thermometer 6
below zero. Fluck, it il thought, will die,
but Ramsey may recoyer.
The river at this point is higher than
has been known before for twenty years.
Everything is at a standstill. Mills and
factories are all closed. The ice has gorged
for miles, and grave fears are entertained.
At least forty families we're driven from
their homes. The water came with such
a rush that not one Of them was able to
move any household goods. Prom present
appearances the worst has not come. The
hardwood breeding farm is entirely sub
merged, and some of the stock is in a crit
ical situation.
